I, for one, welcome our new Intelligent Omnipotent Toaster overlords.
Now, pass me a waffle.

The Fermi Paradox assumes that we know what to look for.
and that's enough 'Fermi' to worry about today.

That and there were a few spies among them.
[Citation needed]. Though I suspect if there weren't spies among 'em when they were interned, there were when they were released.
And if memory serves, as recently as the 1860's, the Brits were supplying arms to the Confederacy, so in the late 19th century, it wasn't all smiles and sunshine the way it has been since WW2.
There's also the 'Trent Affair'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... . The US stopped a British ship mid-Atlantic to take off a couple of confederate politicians. That got pretty heated, until Lincoln handled the incident (read the article...).
IMHO, the greatest accomplishment of the original Roddenberry Trek TV show was the mainstreaming of the concept of Star travel.
Nicely put and totally agree. I watched the originals when they came out, watch the reruns. I didn't bother with the rest (Next Generation, etc) as we'd done all that before.
You must mean Tiberian bats you insensitive clod!
Episode 67 clearly established they were Factarian moon bats. What you hear was an overdub based on a misspelling.
I'm sorry, I've got the Swedish dub and translates back to English as Fat, Aryan moon bats. This fits in with that Nazi vampire episode - the one that's only ever screened at Fan meetings.
I guess you have to be really geeky to remember the philosophical discussion between Spock and McCoy over this very question in the novel somewhat stupidly named "Spock must die!"
I remember it! McCoy pondered that he might have been a ghost (or whatever -- someone other than himself) since the first time he was teleported. Spock's final comment was that he'd have no way to test the argument one way or the other, so any answer was irrelevant.
Go on, ask me a hard one...
I'll flip it and open it with "999". Your move, atheists.

Yeah but with oil price per barrel hovering around $50 right now that might not be the case. However as many have warned, there's only so much oil in the ground. The smart money is on renewables.
I bought some oil shares once, with the thought that they're not making any more dinosaurs.
Actually what he said is you can't offend anyone.
PROBLEM: First of all, it's impossible to know with certainty what might possibly offend someone. Second, even if you knew someone would be offended, that doesn't mean their viewpoint isn't worthy of the examination and dissection that will cause the offense.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of things that would have offended the members of the Spanish Inquisition that are damn well worthy saying!
Geez, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
